# Chapter 10: Free Candy for You
After removing the bullet, suturing the wound, and wrapping it with bandages, Kalifa's expression was extremely unnatural as she treated Su Xiao's injury.
"Let me go. My chest is about to be bruised. If there are scars left there, I will never forgive you."
Kalifa stared coldly at Su Xiao.
"Why don't you scream? Shout that I'm assaulting you."
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Kalifa made as if to scream, and even subtly pulled her collar open a bit, as if she really were being assaulted by Su Xiao.
"You wouldn't dare," Su Xiao said calmly, continuing, "The poison in your hand is only used by certain intelligence organizations. How would a mayor's secretary have such poison? An enemy spy? The Navy's intelligence division? A Revolutionary Agent?"
Kalifa stopped her feigned scream and tightened her collar.
"What do you want?"
Sure enough, Kalifa was even more afraid of exposure than Su Xiao. If Su Xiao were exposed, the worst that would happen was being expelled from Galley-La Company. But if Su Xiao accused Kalifa of being a spy, even if Iceburg didn't believe it, suspicion would inevitably arise in his heart, and he would conduct some investigations—something Kalifa absolutely could not allow.
Su Xiao stood up, slightly loosening the Realm Severing Thread.
"Come with me."
After speaking, Su Xiao fixed his gaze on Kalifa, waiting for her response.
Kalifa ground her teeth and said, "Release this damn metal wire."
"Are you dreaming?"
Su Xiao looked at Kalifa with slight surprise. Kalifa's heart sank, realizing that escaping wouldn't be so easy.
Kalifa stood there hesitating, weighing whether the Six Powers technique of Iron Body could defend against the strangulation of the metal wire.
Feeling the sharpness hidden within the cold touch, Kalifa sighed inwardly—she probably couldn't defend against it. Her Iron Body cultivation wasn't high enough. Finally, she took a deep breath and called out:
"Mr. Iceburg, I'm taking White Night to the hospital for treatment. He's lost too much blood."
Iceburg turned his head to look at Su Xiao and Kalifa, then fell silent. The two were standing very close, with Kalifa nearly pressed against Su Xiao's chest.
Iceburg was puzzled. When had these two become so close? Could it be love at first sight?
"Go ahead. Young people should have some vitality."
Iceburg chuckled lightly and continued investigating the old shipyard.
Kalifa walked ahead in her high heels, with Su Xiao following closely behind. If Kalifa made any suspicious move, he would mercilessly destroy the flower.
This was truly a stroke of luck. Kalifa had actually dared to approach him. Perhaps she hadn't expected Su Xiao to be so bold as to capture her right in front of Iceburg. Combined with Su Xiao's severe injuries, Kalifa had inevitably let her guard down.
"What's your goal? If you want to sleep with me, forget it. Even if I die, I won't let you have your way."
Kalifa's attitude was resolute. Su Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"I just want to 'talk' with you."
Su Xiao tugged the Realm Severing Thread, signaling Kalifa to enter a nearby alley.
The alley was only two meters wide. Su Xiao looked at Kalifa before him, hesitating whether to kill her right now and see if he could obtain the Six Powers techniques.
But considering the consequences of killing Kalifa, Su Xiao shook his head. Not only would Rob Lucci and the others hunt him down, but Galley-La Workshop would also not let him go, and the World Government would get involved. It was a dead end—at least for now, Kalifa couldn't be killed.
The risks outweighed the rewards. Su Xiao began to think of other strategies.
Cold sweat dripped down Kalifa's cheek as she stood beside Su Xiao. She could clearly feel that the man was hesitating whether to kill her.
"If you're going to kill me, hurry up. But if you kill me, you'll have to become a pirate. Don't even think about setting foot on any island again. Someone will hunt you forever."
Kalifa gave a contemptuous smile, as if she didn't care about life or death, but in reality, she still wanted to live. It was human instinct.
Su Xiao considered how to handle Kalifa. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Although the plan was somewhat crude, it was very suitable for the current situation.
"Miss Kalifa, do you like chewing gum?"
Kalifa was stunned, suddenly sensing something was wrong.
"No, I hate it."
"You don't have the right to choose. Today, I'll feed you candy for free. No, wait—chewing gum."
Su Xiao released a large amount of Realm Severing Thread, wrapping Kalifa up like a dumpling. Kalifa fell straight to the ground, her hands and feet bound, the sharp metal wire preventing her from struggling forcefully.
Su Xiao walked over to Kalifa, straddling her body with his legs on either side.
"You... what are you doing?"
Kalifa glared at Su Xiao through gritted teeth. Su Xiao pressed Kalifa face-up on the ground, sat directly on her lower abdomen, and took out an object that looked like chewing gum.
Intermediate Alchemy Bomb, lethal radius six meters, explosion damage 100 points, very small in size.
Su Xiao gripped Kalifa's jaw with one hand, intending to pry her mouth open.
Kalifa clenched her teeth tightly. Even though her cheeks were being painfully squeezed, she stubbornly refused to open her mouth.
After squeezing for a while, Su Xiao still couldn't pry Kalifa's mouth open.
"Open up."
"No," Kalifa said indistinctly, her cheeks flushed red from the squeezing.
Su Xiao gave a cold laugh, slowly drew Dragon-Slaying Flash from his waist, grabbed Kalifa's cheek with one hand, and held the knife in a reverse grip with the other. He was going to pry it open with the blade!
Despair filled Kalifa's eyes. This enemy was more ruthless than she had imagined.
When Dragon-Slaying Flash was already close to Kalifa's red lips, her small mouth slowly opened, with an expression of resignation.
Dragon-Slaying Flash returned to its sheath. Su Xiao stuffed the Intermediate Alchemy Bomb into Kalifa's mouth, then pressed it down her throat with his index and middle fingers together.
Kalifa gagged repeatedly, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes, even rolling back in her head.
Gulp. The Alchemy Bomb was swallowed by Kalifa. After having her mouth forcibly pried open, a sense of humiliation washed over her, so she bit down hard on Su Xiao's index and middle fingers.
Su Xiao's expression stiffened. This woman actually bites. But being bitten wasn't a major problem.
Using his thumb to press against Kalifa's soft jaw, he clamped down on Kalifa's tongue with his index and middle fingers.
Kalifa gagged a few times and quickly released her bite. Su Xiao's fingers were free. He shook off the saliva from his fingers and wiped them on Kalifa's clothes.
"I'm going to... kill you."
Kalifa had never suffered such humiliation. What made her even more desperate was that she didn't know what she had swallowed.
"Kill me? Don't dream. You can't do it."
Su Xiao began to activate the Alchemy Bomb. The bomb expanded, then stopped at a certain size—this was to prevent Kalifa from spitting it out.
Unless Kalifa had stomach surgery, she absolutely couldn't remove the Alchemy Bomb within a week. After a week, the bomb would be corroded by stomach acid and become ineffective.
Su Xiao retracted the Realm Severing Thread. Kalifa was free.
"What did you make me swallow?"
"Dog excrement."
"Ugh~." Kalifa gagged repeatedly, despair filling her eyes as she looked at Bubuteni. There really was a dog nearby, and the Alchemy Bomb had a strange smell.
"Die!"
Kalifa clenched her fists, her slender fingers cracking audibly.
"Don't worry. I'm not boring enough to make someone swallow crap. You just swallowed a bomb."
Su Xiao activated the Alchemy Bomb slightly. The surface of the bomb emitted high heat, and Kalifa screamed as she fell to the ground.
"It's burning in my stomach!"
Cold sweat instantly soaked through the clothes on Kalifa's back. It was a long time before Kalifa stood up.
"What's your goal?"
Kalifa gasped heavily, already realizing that Su Xiao was not easy to deal with.
"No particular goal. If you have companions, go tell them: we'll keep to ourselves. Don't come provoking me for no reason."
After speaking, Su Xiao left the alley. The plot was only at its initial stage, not yet time for the carnival.
Inside the alley, Kalifa used her pale fingers to dig at her throat to induce vomiting. She kept vomiting until she was completely exhausted, but still couldn't spit out that white bomb.
